I haven't been on in awhile, figured I'd come on and say hell and see how everyone is doing!.. Recently my anxiety has been getting the best of me I don't know why but I don't like it! ugh! Does anyone have any good tips on trying to stay calm?

Thanks everyone!

There are tips all over this forum. It's wonderful! Continue reading and exploring. Buy some self-help books. They sell them on this site, also. Look under "Bookstore" above. Educating yourself will help a lot. Go for some long, calm walks. Listen to quiet music. Take a long, hot bath. Call a friend and discuss something that's bothering you. Also, begin a journal.Anxiety Disorder/Mitral Valve Prolapse

Listening to quiet music is my fav it helps so much, and also curling up with a good book! LOVE IT! Just like Kitt says.. stay in the moment! Thank you all for your help! Just to come on here and chat really helps me relax ;)
